Of course a Scottish and a German! What's so magic about Scotland that it has so many inventors? All that great names like Watt, Stevenson, Baird. Men who changed our living forever!

What's so magic about Scotland?
Everything  Grin
I was only there three days, but in that time I saw very little that was not made entirely of magic, and most of that was tourists like myself. (I'm only about 75% magic. Workin' on the rest. It'd go faster if I moved to Scotland).

It'd go even faster if you moved to Ireland. That's where the Magic came from in the first place.

I try to put a little bit of FM in all my projects... (They wouldn't work without it   Shocked)

Well I've worked among the spitters and I've breathed the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke
I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Been working rough, I've seen enough, to make your stomach turn

I'll get to Ireland someday. Gotta make a pilgrimage to the home of the Faerie Folk.
